I bought my Energie jeans in Toronto. They are just a good alternative to Diesel and the cuts are more European.
Energie is the brother label of Miss Sixty. All the clothes are for men which is kind of important for guys to know because their clothes can look feminine (D&G style).

Nope I never really posted in the GQ forums.
Energie is not as well known outside Europe but they've got a website: http://www.energie.it
If you don't live in a big city its probably hard to find them.

Samsonite is very understated. Might seem a bit overpriced for the simply designs.
Samsonite was hyped up to be the next Prada Sport but since Neil Barrett left not much stores have been selling it.
If you can't find Samsonite then go for Neil Barrett.
I've only got one Samsonite Blacklabel shirt from the Travel Wear collection.
